August 1, 201214 yr No one that protests has a first priority of changing another's heart. Blacks didn't give a damn if you thought they were equal or not. They protested so that the GOVT would give them the right to be equal. Same here with the gays. Is protesting at Chick-Fil-A going to give them that right? Wouldn't spending that time and energy calling the offices of their elected officials be the most logical option?
August 1, 201214 yr You left out a key word before "views." That would be "some." I also have "some" different views than my wife of 25 years. I may be wrong, but I would be that your church has a doctrine which they stand behind no matter what percentage of the members believe in it or not.

You ALWAYS take advantage of a high-profile situation WHILE doing the behind-the-scenes work. There is no downside to this UNLESS a few of the protesters cross a line of what is acceptable protest. If it gives people pause , regardless of which way the ultimately lean, it is a positive.
August 1, 201214 yr I may be wrong, but I would be that your church has a doctrine which they stand behind no matter what percentage of the members believe in it or not. And?
August 1, 201214 yr For those curious what the inside of a Chick-fil-a looks like today. Thats just the front by the counters. The line actually snakes around the entire inside to get to that point. I eat at Chick-fil-a most days. I was just curious how bad it would get. The drive thru line also snakes around the building.
August 1, 201214 yr So you have different views than your church. I said that. You said the church doesn't care what its members believe. I agree with both. Not sure what you're saying. I should leave because I'm not 100% with them?

Can't see it giving anyone a pause. Like I said you either believe in it, or you don't.

Ironic that two gay guys (in blue) would be in line.
August 1, 201214 yr I said that. You said the church doesn't care what its members believe. I agree with both. Not sure what you're saying. I should leave because I'm not 100% with them? Never said you should leave. Just have a hard time understanding why you would support something you don't believe in.
August 1, 201214 yr Can't see it giving anyone a pause. Like I said you either believe in it, or you don't. I do believe there are people who are conflicted on the issue. Polls show that. Just look at the change in the level of support for gay marriage over the recent years. Therefore, people are indeed changing their mind on the issue. So, you keep getting in front of those who might be open to re-evaluating. Seems logical.
August 1, 201214 yr Ironic that two gay guys (in blue) would be in line. So women can't have short hair? What a sexist.
August 1, 201214 yr Never said you should leave. Just have a hard time understanding why you would support something you don't believe in. I think I've already answered that. I support MOST of the beliefs. There is no church I know of that I would be 100% in agreement . I bet if people truly reflected they would find themselves in agreement with that.
August 1, 201214 yr So women can't have short hair? What a sexist. My wife has short hair. Beautiful woman. Looked like a dude from behind. Humor was obviously missed.
